Our Affiliate System

We are building one organization with affiliates in two regions. Our parent company, now known as Prisma Health, supports both affiliates with overall direction and leadership as we continue to align. We will soon share one brand across the entire organization to better reflect this. The rebranded Palmetto Health-USC Medical Group will continue to operate as a joint venture between the Midlands affiliate and the USC School of Medicine.

Primary Care

Providing Great Care Across the Upstate

Your primary care provider is your main doctor—the one who knows your name and your story and provides you with personalized care. Greenville Health System provides high-quality primary care and an excellent experience for patients and their families at dozens of offices located throughout the Upstate—so we’re never far from where you live, work and play.

The first step is deciding what kind of doctor you want to see. Below are some of the most common types of primary care doctors. Clicking on a category will take you to the list of GHS practices in that category.

Family Medicine Doctors

Family medicine doctors provide comprehensive health care for the individual and family throughout the course of life. The scope of family medicine encompasses all ages, each organ system and every disease entity. Family medicine doctors typically attend a four-year medical school and complete a three-year residency before passing a board-certification exam.

Internal Medicine Doctors

Internal medicine doctors are specialists who diagnose, treat and care for adults across the spectrum, from health maintenance to complex illness. At least three of their seven or more years of medical school and postgraduate training are dedicated to learning how to prevent, diagnose and treat diseases affecting adults, which then is followed by passing a board-certification exam.

Internal Medicine-Pediatrics

Internal medicine-pediatrics (Med-Peds) doctors provide general health care to adults and children of all ages, but have an added special focus on treating adults diagnosed with lifelong conditions in childhood, such as cystic fibrosis, diabetes, congenital heart disease and autism. These physicians typically attend a four-year medical school followed by a four-year residency (two years in internal medicine and two in pediatrics) before passing a board-certification exam. GHS’ two Heritage Pediatrics & Internal Medicine practices are the only ones in the Upstate that feature all Med-Peds doctors.

Obstetrics and Gynecology

OB/GYNs specialize in the management of pregnancy, labor and birth. These doctors also receive specialized education in the female reproductive system and surgical care. Much of their education focuses on the detection and management of obstetric and gynecologic problems. OB/GYNs typically attend a four-year medical school and then undertake a four-year residency before passing a board-certification exam.

Pediatricians

Pediatricians manage the physical, behavioral and mental health of children from birth until age 21. These physicians are trained to diagnose and treat a broad range of childhood illnesses, from minor health problems to serious diseases. Pediatricians typically attend a four-year medical school and complete a three-year residency program in pediatrics before passing a board-certification exam.

Pediatric After-hours Sick Care

When your child becomes ill or gets hurt at night or on the weekend, you don’t want to have to choose between high-quality care and convenience. At GHS Children’s Hospital after-hours sick care offices, you get both. Best of all, these practices are open to ALL children when your regular doctor is not available, regardless of where you go for your child’s routine care.

Convenient Care Facilities

In today’s busy world, it can be difficult to get your schedule to match up with your doctor’s availability when you or a family member becomes ill or is injured. At our GHS convenient care facilities, we’re available when it’s convenient for you. And, unlike other convenient care centers, ours are the gateway to the most comprehensive health care provider in the region, Greenville Health System. That means a smooth transition of care if your condition requires care beyond what we can provide.

Convenient Care is about your health on your schedule. Come see how we’re bringing a fresh approach to convenient doctor’s care in the Upstate.
